The Inquiry will publish the investigation report, Children in the Care of the Nottinghamshire Councils, at midday on Wednesday 31 July 2019.

Fifteen days of public hearings were held for the investigation into Nottinghamshire Councils during October last year. This is one of three investigations by the Inquiry into the response to allegations of child sexual abuse of children in the care of local authorities, alongside Lambeth and Rochdale.

The Nottinghamshire investigation examined the institutional responses of Nottinghamshire County Council, Nottingham City Council, and other organisations such as Nottinghamshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, and considered the adequacy of steps taken to protect children from sexual abuse.

The full report and executive summary will be published on the Inquiry’s website at noon.
